The Karmic Republic of Edsmontik is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Viktor Fragræit with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.69 billion Edsmons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Touve. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Edsmon economy, worth 140 trillion Vdesmønyvus a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,986 Vdesmønyvus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and government officials are held to the highest standard of morality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Edsmontik's national animal is the Suor Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nicht Vjord.

Edsmontik is ranked 304,720^th in the world and 284^th in Karma for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -12.25 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
